Siren's Call

Author's Note: Thanks for the reviews guys. Like I said before, Sasuke is a good boy. (Say it in a Tobi voice lol.) I'm just not the type of author who would write one of the main characters cheating. Anyway, please enjoy this chapter. Oh and if you have any requests for this or other stories, please do feel free to let me know in a private message or review

Chapter Notation: O.o Yeah this chapter is bipolar. First half is funny and second half is sorta spiritual. Because we have to have an appearance by Sasuke's family in this story. Don't worry, Sasuke will be okay. Hinata is probably OOC with her jealousy, but we all love the lols provided by a jealous Hinata?

Chapter Five

"Look Sekushi, I am flattered. Really I am. But we are EXCLUSIVE. Neither of us are exhibitionists either. So you'll have to find someone else to entertain you," Sasuke says.

"See? He's flattered," she says.

"He's being polite," Hinata says, rolling her eyes.

"She is quite beautiful. But she seems so boring. Are you sure you are satisfied with her," the princess asks.

"I'm VERY satisfied with her," Sasuke starts to say and blinks when a blur of blue lunges at the princess.

"GENTLE FIST," Hinata says and is about to not so gently introduce her fist to this hussy's face.

"HINATA," Sasuke calls out and pulls his kitten, who was about ready to scratch the Princess's eyes out, off of her.

"Sasuke, let me go," Hinata whines.

"You know if you kill her that is going to cause an international incident, right," he murmurs in her ear.

"It'll be worth it," she replies.

"Alright, while I have to admit that there is a part of me that is…kinda turned on by seeing your jealous side, it's not needed. You're the only one I want. Who cares what she says? You are NOT boring by any stretch of the imagination," he tells her and was surprised by how difficult it was to hold back a furious Hinata.

"A vanilla lover and so damn violent. You really want to put up with all that because she's got a pretty face and nice pair of ti-," the princess starts to say and is cut off, because somehow Hinata managed to get out of Sasuke's hold and attacks.

Sasuke blinks. How the Hell had she gotten out of his hold? Shit! He had to break this up before it got any worse. They'd never hear the end of it, if Hinata actually hurt the Princess.

"Hinata, calm down," he says and really isn't sure how to handle this side of his girlfriend. (Hmm girlfriend sounded so juvenile. He needed another way to describe his relationship with Hinata.)

"And if a man was asking me for threesomes and calling you a vanilla lover, what would you do," Hinata demands.

"I'd kill him," he answers without hesitation.

"Then stop being a hypocrite," the bluenette says.

"Hinata, she's a princess. Do we really want to go to war over the fact she doesn't know when to keep her mouth shut," Sasuke tries to reason with her.

"I guess you're right," Hinata mutters.

"Yes, yes I am. Come on, we can find just use the next room over. Sorry, Princess but I think it'd be in everyone's best interest. We wouldn't be very good bodyguards, if I let Hinata kill you," he explains.

"She's so possessive. How do you put up with that," she asks.

"Just stop talking or else I might change my mind about the whole letting her kill you thing," Sasuke warns.

"Are you threatening me," she demands.

"No. That wasn't a threat. That was reminding you of the fact that Hinata is a Jonin and if you piss her off, there will have consequences," he decrees and leads Hinata to the next room.

Sasuke shuts the door behind them and pushes Hinata on the bed. He was honestly torn. There was a childish part of his mind that was enjoying seeing Hinata get so jealous. It meant she wanted him. Oh and angry Hinata, was kinda hot. But the more adult part of his mind, knew that he had to handle this situation before it got even more out of control.

"Hinata, she's a nympho. She'll hit on the next guy or woman that she sees and forget about me like that. Besides, I'm a one woman man. If I wanted easy sex, I could have just have visited a brothel in the Sound Village," he says and snaps his fingers.

"…There were brothels in the Sound Village," she asks.

"That's not the point," he says.

"So is that where you learned how to kiss like that," she demands to know.

"NO. I didn't visit any of the brothels," Sasuke exclaims.

"Wait how many brothels were there," she blinks, hearing the plural.

"Three. It was a large village. Anyway, that is not the point," Sasuke says with a sigh.

"Right. Right," Hinata says.

"The point is I only want you. I don't want the hussy, as you call her," he says wryly.

"Good," the Hyuga Heiress seems somewhat pacified.

"And you are still the only woman who has ever activated my Sharingan," he tells her.

"Really," Hinata asks, tilting her head.

"Yes, really," he states.

"Oh good. Can we keep it that way," she asks shyly.

"Definitely," he assures her and kisses her.

She kisses back. Hinata felt a little bit silly. Sasuke hadn't expressed a real interest in anyone, except her and even that was extremely recently. It wasn't like he was the type to go chasing after every pretty face.

"I shouldn't have lost control like that. It was very unprofessional of me. It's just everything is so new and I," she trails off, not really sure how to explain herself.

"You have nothing to apologize for. She's still breathing. If I was in your position, she wouldn't be," he assures her and pulls her into his side.

"I didn't think of you as the jealous type," she mumbles and curls up against him.

"I've never had someone important enough to me for me to get jealous before. But it kinda runs in my family. I think it's because of our association with fire really. You know that basin about ten miles out from the Leaf," he asks.

"Yeah. The big one that is about a mile wide? What about it," she answers.

"It's not a natural basin," he tells her.

"I'm confused," Hinata states and tilts her head adorably in her confusion.

"There was a man who made it clear that he found my grandmother desirable," Sasuke begins.

"And he became your grandfather," she questions.

"No. My grandmother was already engaged to my grandfather at this point," he answers.

"Ohhh. So he…made the crater to scare him," the bluenette asks.

"Something like that," Sasuke says and rubs the back of his head sheepishly.

"He made it while the man was still standing there," she questions, horrified.

"Yeah. Guy is lucky that he was fast. Otherwise would have been a goner," Sasuke admits.

"And I thought I was bad," Hinata laughs.

"Well I have to admit, you were a lioness back there. But compared to my grandfather, you were still a kitten," he murmurs.

"I'm glad no one has made you jealous while we have been here. We would have drowned, if you are anything like your grandfather," she giggles.

"I'd never let you drown. Everyone else, debatable," he states with a straight face.

"Sasuke," she cries out.

"I'm kidding. Maybe," he says slyly.

"I honestly, can't tell if you are or not," she frowns.

"We do need to get to know each other better," he says and brushes her bangs out of her eyes.

"Yeah," she agrees.

"So what would you like to know," Sasuke asks and couldn't help but trail his hand along her hip.

This was a gesture that didn't go unnoticed by Hinata. She blushes. But she doesn't protest as she ponders his question.

"Well…what was your first mission with Team Seven," she questions.

"I remember we got a lot of stupid ones. All Genin do. I can't remember if it was the first one. But we had to retrieve a cat that kept running away from their owner. Poor cat. I can't blame it. There owner was practically smothering them with affection. That cat really didn't like Naruto. He got scratched up good," Sasuke answers with a smirk.

"I can't picture you chasing a cat around, " Hinata laughs.

"Everyone's got to start somewhere," he muses and decides to get some payback for her laughing at him by gliding his hand along her ass.

"Sasuke," she squeals.

"Getting to know each other can include a physical component as well as mental," he offers.

"I should have seen that coming," she says.

"Yes, you should have," Sasuke says, rolling her over until she was on her back and he was on top of her.

"Your turn to ask something," she smiles up at him.

"Fair is fair I guess. What was your first mission with your team," he asks and caresses her cheek.

"Babysitting," she answers.

"Sounds better than chasing after that damn cat," he chuckles.

"You clearly haven't faced a toddler during their terrible twos," she warns him.

"Oh I'm trembling with excitement," he says mockingly.

She laughs and rolls her eyes. Really that kid had been unholy terror. She tries to picture Sasuke at age two. The image of a dark haired boy, spitting up fireballs came to mind. She shakes her head in amusement.

"Favorite vacation spot," he asks.

"The beach and the ocean," she says with a smile.

"I can work with that…especially if you wear that little lavender number," he purrs into her ear.

"I really wish I had worn it before. Really that's all it takes to get your attention? I'm sure your fan girls must be kicking themselves now," she muses.

"I don't have any interest in them. They scream like banshees and are stalkers. But in your case, yeah. It really did flatter you. Though it's more your body than the bikini itself," he admits.

"So you only want me for my body," she asks.

"No, not just your body. Though that is a very nice bonus," he murmurs and kisses her on the collar bone.

"Mmm," she sighs in pleasure and arches into him.

"You're also adorable. I've never seen a ninja blush as much as you. You're honest, kind, and loyal," he places a kiss at a different location after he names each trait spanning from her neck to her inner thigh.

"Now I feel bad. I only want you for your body," she says and tries to keep a straight face.

Hinata fails miserably and ends up laughing. Sasuke shakes his head. She had tried. But her pokerface sucked.

"You need to work on your pokerface," he informs her.

"Yeah, I guess I do," she admits.

"Your turn," he tells her.

"My turn for what," she inquires and tilts her head to the side in confusion.

"I said what I liked about you," he clarifies.

"Mmm never thought I'd see the day when the mighty Sasuke Uchiha was fishing for compliments," she giggles.

"I'm an expert fisher, when I want to be," he says somberly.

"Alright. I guess you are right. It is only fair," she says with a smile.

"Exactly," Sasuke replies smugly.

"Well I like that you are so confident. You honestly don't care what people think about you. You're strong and brave. Oh and I also like it that you are secretly a sex fiend, but a monogamous sex fiend," she finishes.

"Sex fiend, huh," he asks in amusement.

"Mmm you were the one that came up with the apron idea," she defends her description.

"I did consider asking you not to wear the lingerie underneath it. I thought I was being a gentleman, really," he answers.

She blushes scarlet. Sasuke laughs and kisses her nose. She was too fucking adorable. He really needed to stop thinking that word so much. It was horrible for his badass image.

"Oh yes. How gallant of you," she concedes.

"I thought so," he says.

Suddenly they hear a scream coming from the Princess's room. Sasuke and Hinata immediately bound out of the bed and hurry to her room. Shit! A foreign ninja had the Princess in his grasp and a kunai at her throat.

"Hinata," Sasuke says and glances at his buddies, silently telling he to handle them and he'd get the leader.

The bluenette nods and charges at the others, dodging their blows and aiming for their chakra networks. Sasuke smirks and sends a Chidori straight at the man's heart. It connected and gave him an instant heart attack.

"HINATA LOOK OUT," Sasuke says slamming her into ground and grunts when he feels the needles pierce his skin.

They weren't large needles. None had hit in vital points. Which could mean only one thing. Poison. Fuck!

His eyes suddenly loll to the back of his head. Sasuke collapses, foaming at the mouth. The last thing he was aware of before he lost all sense of perception was Hinata and the Princess screaming his name.

Hinata quickly dispatches the rest of the attackers and searches their bodies. There had to be an antidote to poison on one of them! It'd be stupid not to carry one. What if your enemy managed to use your poison against you. It was standard procedure to carry one.

"I got it," Hinata says and quickly forces the antidote into Sasuke's mouth.

It wasn't easy to say the least. Sasuke seemed to be in the middle of a seizure. Whatever they had used on him was a fast and very lethal acting poison. But somehow, she managed to get some of it down his throat and forced him to swallow.

His body goes limp, once he swallows the antidote. He was still far too pale. This was saying something as Sasuke was one of the most fair skinned individuals she knew.

"We need to get a medic," Hinata tells the Princess.

"Of course," she runs off and screams her lungs out for a medic to help them.

Her screaming must have worked. In less than a minute, a medic darts inside. It was the most agonizing sixty seconds of Hinata's entire existence.

"Well you gave him the antidote. His vitals are slowly stabilizing. That was some powerful poison. He might not wake for a few days. He's damn lucky. I know that poison. It can kill in less than two minutes. How long did it take you to give him the antidote," he asks.

"…About a minute and a half, maybe slightly more," Hinata answers with a feeling of dread.

"Oh. Well he's a ninja. I'm sure he has a strong heart and will. We need to get him to the medical facility on the ship. Can you help me move him," the medic asks.

"Yes, of course," Hinata says and takes Sasuke by his legs.

The medic takes him by his shoulders. The two of them slowly and gently guide Sasuke to the medical facility on the boat. Which turned out to be a couple rooms with medical equipment.

Why did he have to get poisoned on a ship?! She didn't think that the minimalist hospital room, didn't exactly inspire confidence in Hinata. What if Sasuke died?!

Everything was white. Sasuke was surrounded by whiteness. He was a child again. There was nothing as far as the eye could see. But for some reason, this didn't frighten him.

He knew that it should. But he felt oddly at peace. If he just kept walking, he'd get to where he needed to be. He wasn't sure where that was. But this didn't bother him.

Finally, after what seemed like hours or might have only been a few minutes, he sees a shadow. He follows it. Child Sasuke tilts his head. Mother? But she was dead. They were all dead.

"It's alright, baby," she offers him her hand.

Sasuke hesitates. He knew that she was dead. He knew that he wasn't seven anymore. But as he looked down at his hand, he realized he was in the body of a child. What was going on here?

"Sasuke, it's okay. You are home now," he hears a masculine voice say.

Sasuke turns his head around. It was his father. But how was that possible? Suddenly, it wasn't just him and his parents. But the whole clan, even Itachi was there. No one seemed surprised that he was a child again.

"Where am I," he asks.

"Home," Mikoto tells him.

"This isn't home," he responds.

"Sasuke, stop being difficult. You are hurting your mother's feelings," Fugaku admonishes him.

Sasuke lowers his head. He felt like a little kid again. One that was sad he'd disappointed his father again.

Fugaku sighs and stoops down to his knee. He pulls Sasuke in for a hug. Sasuke blinks at this. His father was not the type to hug well anyone.

"You're home now, that's what matters. I have missed you my son," he says.

Sasuke smiles. His father missed him. His mother was over there and the whole clan was here. His earlier doubts were dispelled by this happy news.

"SHIT! His pulse is dropping rapidly," the medic says and gets the paddles, trying to shock his heart back into returning to its normal pace.

"SASUKE," Hinata cries out and flings herself onto him.

"SASUKE," Sasuke blinks and looks around to see who had said his name.

He didn't see anyone yelling. But someone had definitely yelled. He knew that voice. He knew that he knew who it belonged to. But it was all so distant. It felt like it was from another lifetime.

"Father, did you hear that," Sasuke asks.

"Hear what," Fugaku responds.

"Someone screamed my name," the child tells his father.

"I didn't hear anything. Come, let's head home," he takes his hand and the Uchiha Clan start walking towards a door, that hadn't been there before.

Sasuke knew that doors didn't just appear out of thin air. He should be suspicious. He should be worried. But his family wouldn't hurt him, right? His father was finally paying attention to him! He was home and with his family!

"His heart rate keeps dropping," the medic says and continues trying to shock him back.

"Sasuke, please don't go," Hinata pleads.

"Sasuke, please don't go," the child definitely heard a voice that time.

"Hinata," he murmurs.

"Who is Hinata," Mikoto asks.

"Someone important. I think..," Sasuke replies.

It was all so fuzzy. He knew that Hinata was important to him somehow. Whoever she was, she sounded so sad. So scared. But why?

The medic keeps shocking Sasuke and Hinata was attempting CPR at this point. Sometimes his heart beat would grow more stable. But it was fleeting, only for a minute or two and then it would drop dangerously low again.

Somehow, he felt like someone was kissing him? But no one was doing so. He looks around. It had to be Hinata.

That's when it clicked. Hinata. His lover. Well not quite lover. But close enough! Wait he couldn't have an almost lover. He was seven. Then he looks down and his body was that to his adult self. He had transformed back somehow.

"Foolish little brother. It seems it is not your time yet," Itachi walks over and pokes his forehead.

"I-itachi," Sasuke asks.

"You are hovering somewhere between life and death. You have a choice. You can come with us or you can go back to…whoever this Hinata is," his older brother informs him.

"He's not dead," Mikoto asks.

"That does explain things. If he was dead, he should have gone with you willingly and without question," Fugaku murmurs.

"I'm so sorry baby, I didn't realize that you were still alive," Mikoto says and pulls him into a hug.

"I missed you all so much," Sasuke murmurs and leans into his mother's embrace, Itachi and Fugaku soon joining it.

"You're…taller than me," Fugaku remarks and seems to be almost sulking about this development.

"Really? That's what you have to say to our son after over a decade," Mikoto demands and twitches.

"…It was merely an observation," he says.

"It's your choice, Sasuke," Itachi says.

"My siren is calling me. I'll be back…one day. I think," Sasuke asks uncertainly.

"Yes, we will see each other again. Now go make sure I have lots of adorable grandchildren. You must love her dearly for her voice to reach you here," Mikoto says and kisses the top of Sasuke's head.

"Oh, I get in trouble for the height remark but you can go tell him to go get some random girl pregnant," Fugaku asks in disbelief.

"Father, I don't think you want to get into an argument with mother. You remember what happened last time," Itachi warns him.

"Point taken," Fugaku sighs heavily.

"I love all of you," Sasuke says as he looks at the door that would take him back to the realm of the living.

"We love you to. Now be a good boy. Remember to get her flowers. It shows you care," Mikoto offers helpfully.

"Um thanks, mother. Good bye," he says and steals one final hug before darting through the door that was supposed to take him back to his siren.

Sasuke gasps as his heart kicks back into full gear. He wraps his arms tightly around a very much sobbing Hinata. He was back.

"It's okay. I'm okay," he reassures her.

"You're ali-ve," Hinata says.

"Yeah. I'm a survivor. It's kinda my thing. Thought you knew that," Sasuke murmurs.

"DON'T YOU EVER SCARE ME LIKE THAT AGAIN," Hinata growls at him.

"Whoa. Whoa. Take it easy Hinata," Sasuke says with a gulp.

"Hinata, I doubt that he nearly died on purpose," the medic says.

"Stay out of it," Hinata snaps at the medic and pulls Sasuke in for a desperate kiss.

She needed to feel him. She needed to know that he was still alive. That she wasn't just imagining this. Sasuke was only too happy to oblige.

"My siren lured me away from the rocks. You are one of a kind," he says.

"Wait what," she asks.

"Nevermind. All that matters is that I'm here with you," he tells her.

"Yes," she smiles and continues kissing him.

Heaven could wait. His family would still be there. For now, he wanted to be with his siren more than he wanted to be embraced by death's surprisingly welcoming arms.
